Hah...sounds like you have circuits that either bypass the breakers or you got faulty breakers. Sounds unusual, but it happens often enough. A visual check of the panel with the cover off will reveal any bypassed wires (ie. wires shoved into the main line in terminal(s).
The breakers that 'doesn't seem to control anything', could be the 'defective' ones. However, circuits can be wired to control outlets only, so you will need to verify that...like for instance refridgerators often are on their own dedicated line, as can be electric stovetops, microwave, etc.
